Good day all
im looking at buying some shelf life particles for a long fishing abroad, i cant take fresh particles because i cannot keep it fresh for the amount of time i will be there, whats everyone's thoughts on the best stuff that doesn't contain chemical and other nasty stuff ?
tight lines

Hinders is pretty good. Not the cheapest way of doing it but I really like the shelf life jars they do, and they often have offers on them to make the pirce a bit better. Very convenient as I cam leave them in the car and only open if I need as I rarely use particle

Not sure how much you're looking to use, or what you're looking to use but would say CC Moore or Dynamite for the jars have been the best I've used.
Other option is taking a small gas bottle and stove with you (I've done this and got the 'Turkey Set' off Vevor and use this on longer sessions and just boil up what I need when I need it, a little more impractical if you're moving around but worked for me)

why do you want them fresh? the older the better IMO.
I have buckets of mixed particles sitting in the sun for the last 4 weeks that the fish can't get enough of at the moment.

Are they not vinegary and turning rancid? Or preserved with sugar?

they smell awful but deffo not rancid. what is interesting is that different batches smell differently so I assume it relates to the bacteria at work. the WORST smell was when I had some dirt in the particles that I didn't wash off properly. was close to raw sewage - had to drive to the lake with the car windows down for the whole trip but the fish loved them.
I add loads of sugar & molasses at prep stage - a bit of vitamin c & a spoonful of brewers yeast when the baits are how. there are some white moulds but I just give them a good stir up before use.

Agreed I like my prepared hemp stinking fire chopped garlic gloves and just leave to ferment 👌 I still have some from last year and the fish love it, massive edge 😉

How long are you abroad for?

Could you not take an coleman stove, big pan and take them dry and cook up when needed?

3 litre flask or cool box and dry hemp, you can make what you need.
Pigeon conditioner, the same.
Catering tins of corn and chick peas.
Might be a cheaper option than jars of readymade.
